Uschi poses for his close-up.Well we finally broke down and bought a DSLR, a Nikon D80, what a camera! We went with Nikon because we already had several quality lenses from the film era and because the D80 received very good reviews from online pros and friends. It has so many functions and gives a knowledgeable user the ability to control just about every aspect of taking a picture. We have a lot to learn, but right off the top; the lack of shutter lag, image colors and quality, and flexibility are definite steps up from our little good quality point and shoot. It arrived yesterday and we took a series of pictures in full Auto mode and 100 ISO, just to start playing around with it. Most of the pictures we took didn't come out that great, we had focus, depth of field, exposure, and lighting issues, but we are working at it. Today will just be some of the better shots, even if they aren't totally in focus or lit well. We did get some facial expressions and body positions that we haven't been able to capture, until now.
Uschi watched.
Tanj came crying,...

Uschi after his feathers.
T watches Uschi play.
Lean muscular Tanji.
Uschi looking fit.
T is tired of all this.
